The Beginning

"A blog! A blog! I've started a blog!"- That was my initial excitement when I began the task of this first grade blog. It quickly turned to, "A blog! A blog! I've started a blog?". Once I laid the foundation for the blog I had no idea where to start. So I'll start from the beginning. 

A little info about me:
I teach the wonderful kiddos of 1st grade. This is my 5th year teaching 1st grade (and my 5th year teaching in general)! I absolutely love this grade. The students are so emotional and lively. There are so many important concepts to teach. Most importantly though, I love seeing the progress they've made at the end of the year. It is truly an amazing feeling to send a student off at the end of the year with the ability to read, remember, understand what they've read and be able to do basic math. 

Purpose:
This year I am trying a lot of new ideas, strategies, and even a theme! I am hoping to use this blog as a guide for my future years but also as place to give to and gain information from other first grade teachers. So stop by! Post ideas or questions! And let's take this journey together :)
